IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING

Can be the birth of a genre or at least a a new way of making music be one his own best works ? Often the genre comes to maturity after a certain time and evolution of it in some steps and years... That's not happening often but ITCOTCK is the proove of this.

A rather jazzy begin with 21st schizoid man, who contains already instrumentals parts who puts you in the mood they want, they will appear in every song, this is followed by the magnificient and smooth I talk to the wind who calms you down before the intense Epitath, the best written text in prog history for me... I was thinking if an album could have my 10/10... I will not give it but the next track Moonchild puts me in doubt again... I can't think of how this could be better ? But my philosophy is that there still is. Many people have tried to comment the clossing track but there's nothing to say about this nine-minutes-long track if it isn't genius...

However this is the album that every progheads should have in common, Chamber rock or prog folker, neo prog addicted or Opeth-freak because it's there that everything begun even if Krautrock has some records before the release of ITCOTCK...
